I don't know whether this counts as ugly and awkward IO redirection, but
perhaps you could do something like this:
from os import popen
printer = popen ('lpr')
printer.write("page 1\n\r\f")
printer.write("page 2\n\r\f")
printer.close ()
I actually tried "echo 'test' | lpr -" on a hunch before I read the man
page. You might try that instead if 'lpr' by itself doesn't work.
